Sofia revealed she had knee surgery, sharing a pic of her recovery process at home.

The 51-year-old posted a snap to her Instagram stories while laying in her bed.

Her right leg was elevated, resting on a pillow, as her knee was wrapped tightly in gauze, with a monitoring device placed on top.

And there, lovingly looking over her, was her new doctor boyfriend, Justin Saliman.

The orthopedic surgeon smiled, as he tenderly held her leg. He was still dressed in his work scrubs.

“If u ever get a major knee surgery make sure u get a handsome doctor who will sleep with u that night!!!!” Sofia joked while captioning the photo, before declaring, “Luv U Dr. (Justin Saliman).

LOVE DOCTOR

Sofia – who divorced her husband of seven years Joe Manganiello last year – recently began dating Justin.

The 49-year-old is a successful orthopedic surgeon, who has offices in both Beverly Hills and Los Angeles. 

In December, the two went Instagram official, after Sofia shared a photo of the couple at a holiday party.

An insider claimed: “Sofia has moved on from Joe and would be happy to never see him again. Her relationship with Justin has made her never look back,” according to the Daily Mail.

They have been spotted together on a different occasions as the new happy couple have flaunted their new love on the streets of Los Angeles.
